Help me not go homeless · 8:07pm Oct 22nd, 2023
The following is verbatim of what is written on the GoFundMe page.
Early this year, I started a job that paid well beyond what I was used to as a retail worker. It was an amazing job for only a few weeks before I was asked to move positions. Agreeing to be moved turned out to be a terrible decision on my part. The hours were thrown around constantly, which didn't help with my insomnia. It was a fast-paced environment, and most days I would show up already tired from the previous. The job became so stressful that I started neglecting my life outside of work, from cleaning and all the way down to my eating habits. I brought this up with my boss, but they were unwilling to move me back to my old position. Eventually, it became too much for me and I quit.
That may not have been the best decision -- even if it was better for my mental health -- since I didn't have money to fall back on. I was able to pay this month's rent, but now I have zero dollars to my name and a job opportunity hasn't risen up yet. All I ask is for a little bit of help while I struggle to get back on my feet.
The money you donate will be used to pay rent, buy groceries, and pay for gas so that I have a means of transportation. Transportation equals more job opportunities. The apartments I live in are sliding scale, meaning rent goes up or down based on how much I make annually. As it stands, I am paying $725 for rent. HOWEVER, this recent job paid so much that my rent will be raised to $1,091. This hasn't happened for three months, but the apartment manager says it will happen eventually.
Even if you're only able to donate a dollar, you'll at least feed me, and for that, I'm very thankful.
